How are passwords discovered? How are passwords discovered? Tricking someone into revealing their password via social engineering Data breaches - where information or data is stolen from a system Shoulder surfing when a hacker observes someone typing in their password Through a keylogger, which records all strokes on a keyboard Manual password guessing through information such as name, date of birth, sports teams, or pet names, often shared publicly on social media Finding passwords that have been recorded and stored somewhere unsafe Password spraying - attempting to access a large number of accounts with common passwords Brute-force attacks - automated guessing of large numbers of passwords until the correct one is found
Good or bad advice? Good or bad advice? Use unique passwords for all online accounts Share important passwords with a friend Write passwords down and store safely out of sight Use a secure password manager to help to remember passwords Use a memorable word or name, like a pet s name Use a mix of upper and lower case letters and include numbers
Good or bad advice? Good or bad advice? Use unique passwords for all online accounts (This is the best way to protect accounts) Share important passwords with a friend (Never share a password they are private) Write passwords down and store safely out of sight (This can be a useful option, as long as they are kept safely and out of sight) Use a secure password manager to help to remember passwords (This is safe and secure) Use a memorable word or name, like a pet s name (This could be guessed) Use upper and lower case letters and numbers (Three random words is enough to make a password secure, but if organisations require upper/lower case and numbers, this should be combined with three random words) .
Creating a safe password Creating a safe password The NCSC suggest that passwords are created by using three random words like applefishpen This means the password will be: a) Strong enough b) Easy to remember Combine three random words to create new password for Luca Thinking point: how might you develop your password, based on the good advice from the last activity?
